Text notifications on Apple Watch

The text message notifications on my Apple Watch isn’t clearing after read on my iPhone. I’ve tried re-booting both the watch and iPhone. And I’ve tried changing my watch app setting to mirror my iPhone and changed to custom and neither worked.

Hey dwimberly,


Thanks for using Apple Support Communities! I understand you're seeing a notification on your Apple Watch that you're unable to clear.


You've definitely already taken some great steps to resolve this, so awesome job there. I also recommend unpairing, and then pairing your Apple Watch with your iPhone again. The resources below can help with these steps.

You may also want to update both your Apple Watch and iPhone if there are any pending software updates. The links below can help you with updating.
